popping in exhaust Ok, we have done a few things to the car so I will explain and maybe we can find the reason. The motor came out of my running driving car straight into v6. Car will start almost every time fine once in awhile it will turn over and over then it sounds like it sucks air then pops (sometimes blows flames out exhaust pipe) but cars idails and runs fine. Ok what we have done-LS1 swap into a V6 98camaro, racetronics fuel pump, swaped all ls fuel lines and regulator to V6 car, Long tube headers, did some head work, all new gaskets to motor, 3in stainless steel exahaust to rear axle, egr delete, removed cats and rear 02 sensors, and cleaned front o2 sensors and maf sensor. So with all that HELP PLEASE. And before it gets said yes we did INJ 2 wire.
Sounds like a lot of work being done with no tune. Messing around with O2's, cats, MAF's, etc. and no tune is not recommended. I'd get it checked out and definitely not one of those mail order tunes either.

ok thanks, I was going to go get it tuned after I put the turbo on it but we didn't want to put the turbo on until we found out why it was popping. Should I go ahead and put the turbo on then go it tuned or get it tuned then put turbo on then go get retuned? Ok so any good places in Houston that are good LS turbo tuners for a decent price? and has any body heard of Drivers Source on the west side of Houston?
